【歌曲背景】
公益歌曲“We're The World”(《天下一家》),是由迈克尔·杰克逊和莱昂纳尔·里奇共同谱写,由美国45位歌星联合演唱,昆西·琼斯负责制作。

这次大型摇滚乐义演活动获得了巨大的成功,一共为挣扎在饥荒中的非洲灾民募集到5000多万美元的巨款。摇滚歌星们完成了政治家喋喋不休的演说和国际会议没完没了的讨论所根本完成不了的壮举! 

【歌曲欣赏】We're The World(天下一家)

There comes a time when we should hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying 
And its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
我们听到了一声召唤,
全世界必须团结在一起!
不断有人死去,
是时候向这些生命伸出援助之手,
生命是世界上最珍贵的。

We can't go on pretending day by day 
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family  
And the truth, you know, 
Love is all we need
我们不能日复一日地幻想,
总有别人会一瞬间让世界改变。
我们都是上帝大家庭的一员,
我们都知道,
我们需要的就是爱。

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
天下一家,我们都是上帝的孩子。 
我们要创造光辉灿烂的明天,
所以现在我们就要付出。
这是我们的选择,
我们在自我拯救。
要创造一个更美好的世界,
要靠你和我。

Send them your heart  
So they'll know that someone cares  
And their lives will be stronger and free 
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread 
So we all must lend a helping hand
用心帮助他们, 
他们会知道还有人关心,
他们的生命会更坚强,更自由。 
上帝把石头变成面包来给我们启示, 
所以我们必须伸出援助之手。

We are the world, we are the children 
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
天下一家,我们都是上帝的孩子。 
我们要创造光辉灿烂的明天, 
所以现在我们就要付出。
这是我们的选择,
我们在自我拯救。
要创造一个更美好的世界,
要靠你和我。 

When you're down and out, 
There seems no hope at all 
But if you just believe  
There's no way we can fall  
Let us realize that a change can only come  
When we stand together as one  
当你沮丧绝望,
就看不到任何希望。 
但是如果你坚定信念,
我们就不会失败。
要知道只要团结在一起,
世界才能改变。

We are the world, we are the children 
We are the ones who make a brighter day 
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
天下一家,我们都是上帝的孩子。 
我们要创造光辉灿烂的明天, 
所以现在我们就要付出。
这是我们的选择,
我们在自我拯救。
要创造一个更美好的世界,
要靠你和我。
